Col. T. e. Matson arrived from Col
umbia, S. G. Monday night. He says
an engineer corps will be here within
the next three weeks to locate the
G. G. & G. line north. They would
have been here sooner but were de-
layed in South Carolina. Col. left
last night for Kentucky to start a
corps to work locating the line in the
Breaks Of the Cumberland. It is the
intention of the company to begin
work there as soon as possible and
work this way. A force will also be
put on here and work north. The
contract has been let from Ruther-
fordton to Marion and work will be
commenced on it within the next
fifteen days. Col. says it is probable
work will be commenced at the tun-
ell in the Iron Mountain shortly.
While our people would rather see
them commence now in Johnson City
they know that work being common
ced any where on the line between
Marion, N. c., and the Breaks fixes
the line through Johnson City and
they are satisfied. Gen. r. A. John

Their BEST Gard Loses,

The committee appointed at a meet
of the citizens of Jouesbolo a few
weeks ago to confer with the officials
of the G. G. & G. road have performed
their duty A few days ago they
wrote to Col. r. A. Johnson, General
Manager, asking him if he wanted an
impartial survey made Of the road
through East Tennessee, claiming
that Col. Matson, Chief Engineer, and
Gen. Wilder, Vice-President, were
both interested in Johnson City and
therefore would not make an unbias-
ed statement in regard to their Sec
ton of country. Perhaps they did
not do their work wisely but they did
it well. The letter was referred to
Col. Matson and Gen. Wilder. To
make long story short this letter
had no effect whatever on the man
agement of the Three C's. They
might have been induced to build
their road to Jonesboro under some
circumstances but as it is they will
not because they have no use for a
cave without a cover.

Connecting The Coal Fields
with the Ocean.

The following is taken from the Charlotte
Chronicle of the nth.
Col. r. A. Johnston, manager, and
Gen. j. 7. Wilder, vice-president of
Sos Railroad, were closeted all day
yesterday at the Central. The rail-
road Company has large land interests
in Tennessee, Virginia and Ken
lucky which the General is looking af-
ter, as well as the interest of the
northern division of the road, which
extends from Johnson City, Tenn, to
Ashland, KY. Col Johnson says that
the meeting was for consultation in
regard to the more rapid pushing Of
construction and other important in
terests of this company. Rails are
now being laid on ten miles of COM
pleted bed, from Richardson, KY,
south, and the grading is being push
ed from Kentucky into Virginia.
Everything is being brought into SER
vice to make the connection of the
coal fields with the ocean at the ear
liest possible date.

WHAT IS PROHIBITION?

But few days remain in which the
voters of Tennessee must make up
their minds whether they will vote
"For the Proposed Amendment"

The writer assumes that every man
who is a man realizes that since he
has the PRIVILEGE to vote he has
the OBLIGATION to vote. If he
does not recognize this duty he is not
worthy to be an Am erican citizen
Now the legislature Of Tenn, like pi-
lots, has washed its hands Of this curse
and has said to the people, the true
law-makiRg power, the responsibility
of this business in the cause is upon
you. We are now ready to answer our
question, what is PROHIBITION?
PROHIBITION is SIMPLY THE
REFUSAL OF THE PEOPLE TO
SET UP BARRO0MS. This is the is
sue. Do not complicate it. Do not
get it mixed up with other things.
Keep it simple. If you, my brother,
are not willing to go into the liquor
business-to stand behind the bar and
deal out the liquid poison to your
brother you cannot appoint, or license,
John Smith to do the worl, for you
and thereby escape responsibility for
the consequences. Every life that is

coins into money the sins and sorrows
and suffering of our fellowmen which
thrives by making drunkards and by

which is the direct cause of three

Price and Bryant.

The most interesting speeches made
in Johnson City during the Prohibi-
ton campaign were made last Thurs
day night by Rev. j. G, Price, of
Salisbury, N, c., and DR.. G. w. Bry.
ant, Of Knoxville. The speakers were
both colored men OF ability and as
they represented both sides of the
question the consequence was the lar
gest crowd shat ever assembled in
Jobe's Opera House greeted them.
DR.. Bryant was introduced by Sam
Hyder and opened in a speech of one
hour. His speech was well written
butas he had notspokenitoften enough
to be familiar with he read it from
manuscript. 1t was noted for its
tiowery language, also for it lack OF ar
gument, His only point was that the
state had not the right to take away
mans individual rights, hence the pro-
posed Amendment was not legal. He
also claimed that it was a partisan
measure and that the Democrats
were responsible. The most ridicu-
lous part of his speech, however, was
his appeal to the passions of his race
and his attempt to excite race preju-
dice. He said; THE prohibition par
tyis headed by such men as Judge Fus-
sell, who lead kuklux clan in Ten
nessee several years ago and who had
100 negroes killed and threw their
dead bodies in Duck river. He knows

he continued, "what it is to have our
wives and daughters insulted by the
whites on the street corners" He left
the impression that if the negroes
voted for prohibition they would be put
back in slavery. He continued in
this strain during the half hour.of hi
rejoinder, presumably because he haC
nothing else to say and because h(
could not answer the arguments o
his competitor. 1t was noticeable
that in his rejoinder he did not speal
as tuently as in his first speech anC
it was also noticed that his first con
